Xenophobia: ‘Enough is enough’ – Nigerian Govt

‎The Federal Government, through the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, frowned at the hostility against its citizens in South Africa.

‎

‎Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said this on Thursday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.

‎

‎She said what Nigeria will do in terms of bilateral relations will be heard from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the presidency.

‎

‎“Honestly, enough is enough. Enough really has to be enough, but whatever will be done, you’ll hear from the higher authorities.

‎

‎“For us as a commission, we’ve been engaging people to people. We’ve gone there many times to talk to our own people, but I tell you something, like I said, none of these people that came back committed any crime in South Africa.

‎

‎“If one person commits a crime, get that person and deal with that person. You cannot generalize. But don’t forget that it’s not just Nigerians, but we have a higher number, so it’s something in them, and their government is looking the other way,” she said.
